SAMSUNG has revealed it's new Gear S3 Classic and Frontier smartwatches at the IFA consumer technology show, in Berlin.

Whether it's dimming the lights to set the perfect mood for dinner, or setting the house to the ideal 71 degrees before I get home, I'll be able to control my environment in new ways, right from my wrist."

The update will see Samsung Gear S3 owners benefit from a slew of new functionality.

It also means the Gear S3 has caught-up with the Apple Watch, which can control any smart home device that’s compliant with Apple’s HomeKit scheme.

Unfortunately, despite Samsung’s assurance that it has been “leading the wearables journey” there was no mention of an update to the Gear S3 smartwatch.
